摘要: Flexible elastomer wrap panels stretched and clamped encircling submerged pilings, risers pipelines are coated to resist degradation by any form of marine life, incorporate an interior pile-facing felt layer impregnated with a corrosion inhibiting biocidal gel, providing long term protection for pilings like objects. The present radial rib-strakes protruding outward from the piling extending along in longitudinal direction, either vertically, parallel vertical axis or pipe, slanting helically, reducing eliminating aeolian vibration induced flowing ocean currents causing vortex formation.
